But what you rarely see is the ongoing and unending exercise, drilling, preparation and mentoring that backstops every powerful home run, brilliant catch or swift strike out. Because in baseball or softball each player has to make his or her own luck. And that takes a lot of hard work, time and devotion. We call ourselves The Grind in homage to the tremendous effort it takes to make it look effort
less. The Grind Baseball and Softball Training Facility provides athletes with the opportunity to build their own luck and create an enduring foundation for their dreams. We are dedicated to providing the very best baseball and softball instruction in a positive, high energy environment. We embolden our athletes to achieve by working closely with each individual to identify – and cure – weaknesses, improve skills and maximize performance. The Grind offers baseball and softball instruction, rental areas for teams and individuals, camps, and coaches clinics. Our instruction ranges from hitting, pitching and catching, to functional strength and core conditioning. Our coaches have professional experience, are highly skilled and, most importantly, have an insatiable appetite for baseball and softball. Our goal is to help every athlete improve through hard work, goal-setting and proper mechanics while not losing sight of the joy of the sport. At The Grind, we win every day. Our Philosophy
We use The Grind to strengthen the hearts, minds and bodies of athletes and help them achieve their maximum potential both on and off the field. We view our relationship with parents and guardians as a partnership in the development of the young athletes in our program. We recommend that all parents and guardians read this Letter to Parents that St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny wrote when he coached his son’s team. Facility
We encourage you to come and visit us any time. Owned and operated by Orange native Michael Moras, our brand new 6,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility has five tunnels and two Hack Attack Hitting Machines – the same machines used by all 30 major league affiliated teams. We are conveniently located at 83 Boston Post Road in Orange, Connecticut (diagonally behind Taco Bell).
